"I took a five-session Beginning Voice Acting class with Corliss in a professional recording studio. The critiques she gave me after every recording I mad

e helped me to speak more clearly, and to increase the energy I was able to put into my recorded presentations. Without the critiques of my recordings, I would not have been able to improve my speaking ability. During the class, she made sure everyone in the class was made to feel welcome, and important. When I take the next level of the Voice Acting class series, I will be looking forward her critiques of my recorded presentations."

Review by Shannon

"Kim has incredible in depth knowledge about the craft of acting. Not only has she helped my performance get better and better, but her knowledge of the in

dustry has guided me down the path of success. I always go to Kim with any questions or advice I may need because I have come to trust her with all things acting and performance. What I love best about working with Kim is you can tell she loves what she does. She is a no-nonsense type of gal and will tell you what you need to hear to get better. You can see her passion for her work in everything she does. She has a lot of knowledge and skill to share.If you are trying to get more serious with acting and performance, or just want to learn in a fun environment, I highly recommend working with Kim!"
